Would you like this?

This design concept does look pretty good, although I'm not sure how the detachable and moving parts would affect the weather sealing. I don't really mind, I just want the D800 to come out as soon as possible! I'm even thinking of buying a D5100 to tide me over.

The rotating grip reminds me of my old CoolPix S10. Intriguing design, I don't know if I'd like it in a DSLR though.

I'd have to hold something like this to see how it feels. I don't think Nikon would every make a major change like this anyway
 
body is too small, the controls are in weird places - I can imagine all sorts of gunk getting caught in-between the rotating grip, as well as the mechanism losing its tolerance overtime. I much rather see a removable/remote grip instead of this.
 
I had a sony SD video camera with a similar setup. the camera was fine too good quality footage but the rotating grip. Not a great deal of use. I must admit I am a but furstrated that having just shelled out for a D7000 they are only now putting fold out screens on the higher end cameras. Damn annoying indeed.
 
Looks good to me in concept, but I could see the hinge breaking down after heavy use. I'd also worry about the weather sealing on the articulating hinge.

But an interesting concept none the less
